What Does Curt Hitch for 2023 Kia Sorento Weigh  

Published 11/24/2025

Question:

Do you have specifications for your hitches anywhere? Wondering how much the hitch weights compared to other models, such as blue ox.

Hey Troy, the Curt hitch part # C37RV that you referenced weighs 34 lbs. The Blue Ox part # BLU48HR weighs 42 lb. Most of the hitches for a given vehicle weigh about the same. Will you be doing some towing?

I don’t plan to tow right now, it’s mainly for a bike rack. I am thinking about a larger bike rack like the Thule revert. It seems like bike racks would not only need adequate tongue weight but also have extra torsion, which is why I was curious about the blue ox as it looks stiffer when it comes to twisting. But it is for a phev, so I am also wanting to be weight conscious when not using the hitch as it’s dead weight most of the time. Probably overthinking this.

@Troy I wouldn't say overthinking at all. I do think the Blue Ox is a better choice with the Revert # TH73VA but I wouldn't stress too much about the slightly higher weight. I don't think you'll see that affect the range in any noticeable way.
